Invited Oral Presentation
Various initiatives in Europe have been launched to study superconducting magnets for a rotatable gantry suitable for delivery up to 440 MeV/A carbon ions for hadron therapy. Various technologies and layouts are being considered: strongly curved cos-theta dipole (R_bending = 1.6 m) rated for 4 T central field and a ramp rate of 0.15 – 0.4 T/s. or novel Canted Cosine Theta (CCT) dipoles in...
